Hmm. I'm not seeing the reason for this.

Ok, so the claim is that there's a 'p->alloc_lock' (ie "task_lock()")
that is inside the tasklist_lock, which would indeed be wrong. But I'm
not seeing it. The "shortest dependencies" thing seems to imply
__set_task_comm(), but that only takes task_lock.

Unless there is something in tip/master. Can you check that this is
actually in plain -rc6?

Or maybe I'm just blind. Those lockdep splats are easy to get wrong.
Adding PeterZ and Ingo to the list just because they are my lockdep
go-to people.
